Which statement is consistent with the valence bond theory?
All the atomic orbitals of an atom overlap with the orbitals of an adjacent atom.
A covalent bond forms when a half-filled orbital from one atom overlaps with a half-filled orbital from another atom.
Only s orbitals can overlap to form bonds.
A covalent bond forms when a half-filled orbital from one atom overlaps with an empty orbital from another atom.
It is common for carbon to form a carbon-carbon double bond, however silicon-silicon double bond is less common. Use valence bond theory to account for this.
Use VSEPR theory to predict the geometry (including bond angles) about each interior atom of methyl azide (CH3N3), and make a sketch of the molecule. Would you expect the bond angle between the two interior nitrogen atoms to be the same or different? Would you expect the two nitrogen–nitrogen bond lengths to be the same or different?

What are the formal charges on the atoms? Try describing the bonding for this formula in valence bond terms. Do you have any difficulty doing this? b Does this Lewis formula give a reasonable description of the electron structure, or is there a better one? If there is a better Lewis formula, write it down and explain why it is better. c The same student writes the following resonance description for CO2: Is there something wrong with this description?

Explain what is wrong with the statements you do not choose. a. The angle between two or more bonds is determined primarily by the repulsions between the electrons within those bonds and other (lone pair) electrons on the central atom of a molecule. Each of these electron groups (bonding electrons or lone pair electrons) lowers its potential energy by maximizing its separation from other electron groups, thus determining the geometry of the molecule. b. The angle between two or more bonds is determined primarily by the repulsions between the electrons within those bonds. Each of these bonding electrons lowers its potential energy by maximizing its separation from other electron groups, thus determining the geometry of the molecule. c.

Therefore, to determine the geometry of a molecule, you must determine…arrow_forwardWhich statements accurately describe sigma bonds? Sigma bonds can only result from the overlap of two p orbitals. Sigma bonds only form when regions of orbitals with different signs overlap. Sigma bonds are symmetric about the internuclear axis. Sigma bonds result from the overlap of orbitals in only one region of space. Sigma bonds result from the overlap of orbitals in two regions of space. Sigma bonds cannot rotate without interfering with orbital overlap. A sigma bond could result from the sideways (as opposed to head-on) overlap of two p orbitals.
